North Lawndale permit value jumps to $10.7 million
North Lawndale logged $10.7 million in permit value this March, up from just over $1 million the month before. The 29 permits leaned heavily on express filings—14 of them—with eight renovation jobs and a pair of new construction permits mixed in. Whatever's driving the tenfold spike isn't obvious from the categories alone. No new business licenses turned up, and the other usual metrics sat at zero.
